Moore to make sequel to 'Fahrenheit 9/11'
By Helen Kinsella
13 November 2004
Michael Moore is not taking George Bush's election victory lying down. The guerrilla film-maker is planning a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11, the feature-length documentary he hoped would sway American voters in the recent presidential election.

The sequel, to be called Fahrenheit 9/11Â½, will be timed to coincide with the next election and will revisit the same issues as the previous documentary, which lambasted Mr Bush's presidency, the response to the 11 September attacks and the war in Iraq.

"We want to get the cameras rolling now and have it ready in two [to] three years," he told the industry paper Daily Variety. "Fifty-one per cent of the American people lacked information [in this election], and we want to educate and enlighten them. They weren't told the truth. We're communicators and it's up to us to start doing it now."

Moore's film, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival this year - and is expected to be considered for a best picture nomination at the upcoming Academy Awards - has grossed nearly $120m (Â£65m) at the US box office, a record for a political documentary.

Moore was active on John Kerry's campaign trail, heartily encouraging the public at rallies and on television. He also made an appearance at the Republican Convention in New York, where he was booed and jeered.

Moore said that he has been in talks with Harvey Weinstein, the executive producer of Fahrenheit 9/11, about beginning work on Fahrenheit 9/11Â½.

"The official mourning period is over today," he added, "and there is a silver lining: George Bush is prohibited by law from running again."

Old news, demon. Must've taken a while for your preferred sources to pick up on that.
